ENERGETICALLY AUTONOMOUS TACTICAL ROBOT (EATR) � Concept [patent pending]: an autonomous robotic vehicle able to perform long-range, long-endurance missions indefinitely without the need for conventional refueling � Robotic vehicle forages: biologically-inspired, organism-like behavior the equivalent of eating � Can find, ingest, and extract energy from biomass in the environment (and other organically-based energy sources) � Can also use conventional fuels (heavy fuel, gasoline, kerosene, diesel, propane, coal) when available
EATR: RATIONALE AND UTILITY � A robotic vehicle’s inherent advantage is the ability to engage in long-endurance, tedious, and hazardous tasks such as RSTA (Reconnaissance, Surveillance, and Target Acquisition) without fatigue or stress � Advantage is diminished by need to replenish fuel supply � EATR provides: � Revolutionary increase in robotic ground vehicle endurance and range � Ability of robot to perform extended missions autonomously � Ability to occupy territory and perform missions with sensors or weapons indefinitely � Long-range, long-endurance unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) can complement the missions of long-range, long-endurance unmanned air vehicles (UAVs)
